Summary

A prostate cancer patient had an adrenal mass that was active on imaging but non-functional. This finding suggests a potential "Pre-Cushing's syndrome" of the adrenal cortex.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Adrenal incidentalomas are common findings in patients with other malignancies.
  • Prostate cancer patients may present with adrenal masses requiring careful evaluation.

Observation:

  • A 67-year-old man with prostate cancer incidentally discovered a left adrenal nodule.
  • The adrenal mass showed scintigraphic activity with suppressed contralateral uptake, despite normal hormonal status.

Findings:

  • Surgical resection revealed a non-functioning adrenal adenoma.
  • Histological and biochemical analyses confirmed the adenoma's non-hormonal nature.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare presentation of adrenal adenoma with specific scintigraphic findings.

  • The term "Pre-Cushing's syndrome" is proposed for adrenal masses exhibiting radioisotopic uptake without hormonal hypersecretion.
